China Lecture for Sherman
2021年7月26日下午，国务委员兼外长王毅在天津会见美国常务副国务卿舍曼。
王毅表示，当前中美关系面临严重困难和挑战，下步是走向冲突对抗还是得到改善发展，需要美方认真思考，作出正确选择。你此次访华是中美接触对话的组成部分，双方应通过不间断对话增进了解，消除误解，防止误判，更好管控分歧。
王毅说，美新政府总体上延续了上一届政府的极端和错误对华政策，不断挑战中国底线，加大对中国遏制打压，中方对此坚决反对。出现上述问题，归根到底在于美方的对华认知出了问题，把中国视为最主要对手甚至朝敌手方向推进，企图阻挡和打断中国的现代化进程。这一企图现在不可能实现，将来更不可能实现。
王毅强调，我要清晰、明确地告诉美方，中国的发展振兴有着巨大内生动力，是历史演变的必然趋势。中国特色社会主义完全符合中国的国情和需要，已经并将继续取得巨大成功。中国共产党和中国人民血肉相连、命运与共，始终得到14亿中国人民发自内心的拥护和支持。中华民族伟大复兴已经进入不可逆转的历史进程，任何势力、任何国家都无法阻挡。中国各族人民走向现代化也是人类文明进步的伟大进程，任何势力、任何国家都不应阻挡。
王毅指出，我也要清晰、明确地告诉美方，中国将继续坚持走和平发展道路，奉行互利共赢的开放战略，绝不会走国强必霸的老路，愿与世界各国包括美国在内实现共同发展、共同繁荣。中国是二战以来国际秩序的创立者之一，也是受益者之一，我们不会另起炉灶，也无意另搞一套。中国将坚定维护以联合国为核心的国际体系，维护以国际法为基础的国际秩序，维护以联合国宪章宗旨和原则为根基的国际关系基本准则。
王毅说，我还要清晰、明确地告诉美方，中国发展的目的是为全体中国人民谋幸福。正如习近平主席所指出的，人民对美好生活的向往，就是我们的奋斗目标。中国的发展不是要挑战美国，也不是为了取代美国。我们从来没有兴趣赌美国的输赢，中国的发展也不建立在美国衰落的前提之上。我们从不输出意识形态和发展模式，因为我们有一个基本立场，那就是，各国都应该自主探索符合本国国情的发展道路。
王毅指出，为管控好双方存在的分歧，防止中美关系进一步下滑乃至失控，中方向美方提出三点基本要求，也是中方坚守的三条底线：第一，美国不得挑战、诋毁甚至试图颠覆中国特色社会主义道路和制度。中国的道路和制度是历史的选择，也是人民的选择，事关14亿中国人民的长远福祉，事关中华民族的前途命运，是中方必须坚守的核心利益。
第二，美国不得试图阻挠甚至打断中国的发展进程。中国人民当然也有过上更美好生活的权利，中国也有实现现代化的权利，现代化不是美国的专权，这涉及人类的基本良知和国际公义。中方敦促美方尽快取消对华实施的所有单边制裁、高额关税、长臂管辖以及科技封锁。
第三，美国不得侵犯中国国家主权，更不能破坏中国领土完整。涉疆、涉藏、涉港等问题从来不是什么人权、民主问题，而是反“疆独”、反“藏独”、反“港独”的大是大非问题，任何国家都不会允许国家主权安全受到损害。至于台湾问题，更是重中之重。两岸虽尚未统一，但大陆和台湾同属一个中国、台湾是中国领土一部分这一基本事实从来没有改变，也不会改变。如果“台独”胆敢挑衅，中国有权利采取任何需要的手段予以制止。我们奉劝美方在台湾问题上务必恪守承诺，务必慎重行事。
王毅表示，中美是最大的发展中国家和最大的发达国家，双方谁也取代不了谁，谁也打倒不了谁。中美关系向何处去，我们的意见很明确，那就是通过对话找到一条不同制度、不同文化、不同发展阶段的两个大国在这个星球上和平共处之道。如果能互利双赢当然更好。这对中美两国是大好事，对世界是大福音，否则将是一场大灾难。希美方树立客观正确的对华认知，放弃傲慢偏见，停止充当教师爷，回到理性务实的对华政策上来。
舍曼表示，美中关系是世界上最重要的双边关系。拜登政府上台以来，美中进行了多次接触，美方愿继续同中方进行开诚布公的接触对话。美方也希望两国实现和平共存。美方无意限制中国的发展，也不想遏制中国，乐见中国实现发展。双方可以开展良性竞争，在应对气候变化、禁毒以及国际地区热点问题上进行合作，增强危机管控能力，避免发生冲突。美中作为两个大国，即便有分歧也可以通过负责任方式进行沟通和讨论。希双方共同采取行动，推动两国关系改善。舍曼重申，美坚持一个中国政策，不支持台湾“独立”。

Probe Fort Detrick
1. What was the reason for the closure of the Fort Detrick base?
2. What exactly is the purpose of the more than 200 biological laboratories deployed by the U.S. around the world?
3. Is it a coincidence that the epidemic exercise Crimson Contagion coincided highly with the spread of the epidemic or was it another “script”?
4. How many of the “flu patients” across the U.S. are infected with COVID?
5. What are the names of the Wuhan lab personnels who were hospitalized in November 2019 as reported by the U.S. media?
6. The U.S. says it started developing a vaccine for COVID on January 11, 2020, where did the strain come from?
7. Why did the U.S. place a gag order on the virus scientists?
8、Why does the U.S. repeatedly ignore the virus traceability research results of the world scientific community?
9, Why is the U.S. “double investigation” of the origin of the COVID carried out by the intelligence services?
Sinocratisation of America
Biden will make a $2 trillion accelerated investment, with a plan to deploy those resources over his first term, setting us on an irreversible course to meet the ambitious climate progress that science demands.
Biden will make far-reaching investments in:
- Infrastructure: Create millions of good, union jobs rebuilding America’s crumbling infrastructure – from roads and bridges to green spaces and water systems to electricity grids and universal broadband – to lay a new foundation for sustainable growth, compete in the global economy, withstand the impacts of climate change, and improve public health, including access to clean air and clean water.
- Auto Industry: Create 1 million new jobs in the American auto industry, domestic auto supply chains, and auto infrastructure, from parts to materials to electric vehicle charging stations, positioning American auto workers and manufacturers to win the 21st century; and invest in U.S. auto workers to ensure their jobs are good jobs with a choice to join a union.
- Transit: Provide every American city with 100,000 or more residents with high-quality, zero-emissions public transportation options through flexible federal investments with strong labor protections that create good, union jobs and meet the needs of these cities – ranging from light rail networks to improving existing transit and bus lines to installing infrastructure for pedestrians and bicyclists.
- Power Sector: Move ambitiously to generate clean, American-made electricity to achieve a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035. This will enable us to meet the existential threat of climate change while creating millions of jobs with a choice to join a union.
- Buildings: Upgrade 4 million buildings and weatherize 2 million homes over 4 years, creating at least 1 million good-paying jobs with a choice to join a union; and also spur the building retrofit and efficient-appliance manufacturing supply chain by funding direct cash rebates and low-cost financing to upgrade and electrify home appliances and install more efficient windows, which will cut residential energy bills.
- Housing: Spur the construction of 1.5 million sustainable homes and housing units.
- Innovation: Drive dramatic cost reductions in critical clean energy technologies, including battery storage, negative emissions technologies, the next generation of building materials, renewable hydrogen, and advanced nuclear – and rapidly commercialize them, ensuring that those new technologies are made in America.
- Agriculture and Conservation: Create jobs in climate-smart agriculture, resilience, and conservation, including 250,000 jobs plugging abandoned oil and natural gas wells and reclaiming abandoned coal, hardrock, and uranium mines – providing good work with a choice to join or continue membership in a union in hard hit communities, including rural communities, reducing leakage of toxics, and preventing local environmental damage.
- Environmental Justice: Ensure that environmental justice is a key consideration in where, how, and with whom we build – creating good, union, middle-class jobs in communities left behind, righting wrongs in communities that bear the brunt of pollution, and lifting up the best ideas from across our great nation – rural, urban, and tribal.
Loser talks
“So I see stiff competition with China, China has an overall goal, and I don’t criticize them for the goal, but they have an overall goal to become the leading country in the world, the wealthiest country in the world and the most powerful country in the world. That’s not going to happen on my watch because United States is going to continue to grow and expand.” Your watch will end any day now.
